The Daily Herald Reports: DuPage County Board members largely agree with Cronin

There are fundamental differences of my beliefs and that of my Republican colleagues on the DuPage County Board. However, I am always willing to work with my colleagues on common sense measures that will benefit the community. I also never shy away from asking questions, challenging practices and voting against measures that maybe problematic or go against my beliefs.

Study: DuPage County Board members largely agree with Cronin

Even Elizabeth Chaplin — the board’s only Democrat — says she tries to work with Republican colleagues most of the time.

According to the study, Chaplin agreed with the vice chairman on only 29 percent of the divided roll call votes between December 2016 and November 2017.

Chaplin said many of her dissenting votes were related to pay increases for elected officials, lobbying contracts and the budget. She said she also opposed hiring vendors who have made numerous campaign contributions to county board members.
